discover the power of facilitating with SOUND
LEVEL I: The Initiation
This is a 7-day immersion to develop as a sound practitioner. Whether you’re a musician or not, this training prepares you to lead with sacred sound. You’ll receive hands-on mentorship with instruments like the gong and experience our signature psychedelic journey. Level I can also be taken as a stand-alone immersion.
October 7—14 | Meco, Portugal
LEVEL II: The Integration
A 4-month online journey to integrate your sound practice at a higher level and train as a psychedelic guide. This includes foundational shamanic teachings, breakthrough assignments and one-on-one mentorship with Quddus. It’s a devotional path to help you live out your calling with integrity and within a community that can hold you higher.
LEVEL III: The Illumination
An invite-only immersion for those who show up powerfully in Level II and feel the call to be part of our community of trusted guides. This focuses solely on how you embody what we've covered in real time and in service to others. It includes supporting the next Level I immersion in Portugal (March 17—24) and will be followed by a formal review, which we call “an illumination meeting,” all intended to certify you.

going DEEPER
Before we pick up any actual instruments, we spend the first part of Level 1 exploring how each of us can be an instrument.
Then we dive into the science and spirituality of how sound can actually heal. After we lay that groundwork, you’ll have the option to experience a psilocybin enhanced sound journey to get an even more profound experience of sound. By combining sound meditation and magic mushrooms, we heighten our sensitivity to all the subtleties in the sound to truly feel what sound can do.
We’ll work with the neuroplasticity you get from that mushroom journey to get your hands on those instruments, start your practice and get mentorship from Quddus about how to play them. Then we’ll take a deeper dive into the instruments you’re feeling drawn to so you can move towards being confident and competent with them. Everyone will have the opportunity to give each other sound meditations and get feedback.
Even if you’ve been a sound practitioner, you will likely find that we teach sound in a very different way than most trainings out there because we focus on how this practice can be transformational and not just relaxing.
